Patent EP-1191764-A1 (EP)
Inventor: CLOUTIER JOSEPH E
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-04-02
Abstract: The probability of a time out and the resulting waste of channel capacity in a
communication system is decreased by controlling the length of the time out period so as to
minimize the number of time outs that occur. The length of the time out is based on the sum of
the average channel delay and four times the deviation in the channel delay. A delay is
introduced into the communication channel so as to increase the deviation in the channel delay.
This results in an increase in the length of time required for a time out. As a result, the number of
time outs is drastically decreased which in turn decreases the number of wasteful ramp up times
that results in a more efficient use of channel capacity.

Abstract: A vehicle data display device (10) is provided that includes a screen (18) with characters (20)
displayed thereon. The characters have display attributes such as font size, line spacing,
brightness, contrast, and location of the character on the screen (18) all of which contribute
to making the characters (20) readable to the vehicle occupant. A vehicle environment
sensor (28) is used to detect a vehicle environment condition and produce a signal in
response thereto. A control device (26) adjusts the display attributes of the characters on the
screen (18) in response to the signal to improve the readability of the characters (20). For
example, a light sensor may be used to detect the light condition in the area of the
screen. The brightness and contrast may be adjusted accordingly to provide maximum
readability to the characters to the occupant. Additionally, the font size and line
spacing between characters may be increased as the vehicle speed increases so while the
vehicle is in motion the characters are easier to read. Furthermore, a motion detection
device (28) such as an accelerometer may be used to detect vibration of the screen to change
the location of the characters and stabilize the image displayed on the screen.

Patent EP-1298670-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ROLANDI PAOLO
IPC: G11C19/28
Filed: 2001-09-28
Abstract: According to the multilevel programming method, each memory
location (10a, 10b) can be programmed at a non-binary number
of levels. An integer number of bits, for example 5, is stored
in two adjacent memory locations (10a, 10b). To this end, the
bits to be stored in the two locations are divided into two
sets, wherein the first set defines a binary number of levels
higher than the non-binary number of levels. During
programming, if the first set of bits to be written
corresponds to a number smaller than the non-binary number of
levels, the first set of bits is written in the first location
and the second set of bits is written in the second location
(33, 34); if, instead, it is greater than the non-binary
number of levels, the first set of bits is written in the
second location and the second set of bits is written in the
first location (35, 36). The bits of the first set written in
the second location (10b) are stored in different levels with
respect to the bits of the second set. Consequently, during
reading, first it is verified(42) whether the levels reserved
to the first set have been written, and the bits read in the
two locations are appropriately associated to the two sets of
bits.

Abstract: Selon cette invention, on applique un adhésif très facilement détachable sur une feuille de papier pour former une feuille de fond (844). La feuille de fond est stratifiée avec une feuille de carton (836) pour former une feuille de carton stratifiée. La feuille de carton (mais pas la feuille de fond) est ensuite découpée intérieurement (840) à la matrice pour donner des lignes de découpe qui délimitent au moins partiellement le périmètre des cartes de visite, ou d'autres supports imprimés. Le recto de la feuille de fond (mais pas la feuille de carton) est ensuite découpé à la matrice pour former des bandes au verso de la feuille de carton. Quelques-unes de ces bandes définissent des bandes de couverture, qui recouvrent certaines lignes de la feuille de carton, les autres bandes délimitant les bandes à jeter. Ces dernières sont enlevées par matrice du recto de la feuille de carton. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré (stratifié à sec), l'unique découpe à la matrice de la feuille de fond est parallèle au bord d'attaque de la feuille et forme une bande (864) à bord d'attaque étroit, laquelle est enlevée. La structure qui résulte de ces opérations est insérée par l'utilisateur dans une imprimante ou une photocopieuse. Les informations souhaitées sont imprimées au recto des cartes, les bandes de couverture retenant lesdites cartes ensemble comme une seule structure de feuille. Après impression, les cartes sont facilement détachées des bandes et peuvent être utilisées. La conception de la structure en feuille destinée à former le support imprimé selon des tailles et des formes variées et dans laquelle on peut éventuellement prévoir des lignes de faux pli, et/ou des lignes de découpe ou de perforation qui améliorent la flexibilité, permet d'obtenir des supports autres que les cartes de visite, notamment des cartes postales et des cartes de voeux.
